Who needs method acting when you have YouTube?

Denzel Washington and Aaron Paul both recently admitted to learning how to play alcoholics for their latest films - Flight and Smashed, respectively - from watching drunks on YouTube.

"You can YouTube 'drunks.' There are thousands. They are amazing," Washington, 57, said. His favorite video is of "this one guy that's trying to open a door and it takes about a half hour."

Paul also heralded the video site for its collection of inebriated individuals' humorous actions caught on tape: "I watched so many funny videos. There are so many. Just type in 'drunk people' or 'people drunk,' and you'll find some gems. There are amazing videos on YouTube that only have like 400 views. I'm just shocked that the entire planet hasn't seen them yet."

The 33 year-old Breaking Bad actor also conceded that he may not have been sober while filming some of his scenes. "There definitely may or may not have been one scene in there where I decided to take it up a notch and do a shot or two of tequila. But most of the drinking happened before the shoot, just as research. I filmed myself drunk just to see what I'm like."
